Author Website: Requirements: No addons required Version: 1.0 Signed: No Short description: This is an early version of the AC130. |
Description: If anyone is interested in testing another AC130 mod, this is the 80% complete version that ive released to my clan for testing. updates will be coming about every week, or when people find enough errors to make an update make sense. Installation: Extract into the ArmA 3 Directory, by default this is located in: 32-Bit - C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/ 64-Bit - C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/ After extraction it should look like this: Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/@your_mod_folder_name You can also use the "Arma 3 Alpha" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Your folder setup could than look like for example this: mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ When present place the "userconfig" folder into your game install folder, usually: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3". You may already have "userconfig" folder from other addons/mods in which case it is safe to merge the contents from this archive. You'll also need to add a Launch Parameter to Steam, in order to do so right-click on ArmA 3 Alpha and click Properties and then Set Launch Options. In the window that opens enter in -mod=@your_mod_folder_name For using multiple mods you would then do so like this: -mod=@mod_name;@mod_name2;@mod_name3;@mod_name4;@mod_name5 Note: You can also use -nosplash to get rid of the splash art and intro videos. And of course you can also enable and disable community made addons and mods through the in-game Options Expansions menu if you do not want to mess with startup parameters! When the above information still does not provide you with enough to learn how to install custom addons and mods you can always ask in our Guide On Installing Mods.

Awesome mod, I haven't tested the guns yet, but there are some low res and missing textures in the cockpit. http://i.imgur.com/sWAFINY.jpg Keep up the good work.

Could you add more phosphorus rounds?
Im trying to keep the 105 at 100 rounds total so how many phosphorus rounds did you have in mind? :)
I made a video of this mod http://youtu.be/Huarh4q423w
Sorry for no audio my recorder had some errors.
1. Many textures are extremely low res and/or missing.
Not sure if this is a bug or you just haven't gotten to it yet, so don't take this offensively.
Also, as a suggestion, it would be cool if you could add a copilot's seat and add a zoom feature to the gunner's position.
@snowskijunky
Zoom feature?
When are you going to release the full textured version, I simply love the plane. Awesome!!
I also have a couple of suggestions.
1. Add cargo version with ramp to drive vehicles on and off, with some extra cargo bay seats.
2. Modify the current Ac-130 available and add cargo bay seats 16+ or similar.
3. Ability to set auto pilot flight path.
4. Ability to open cargo bay doors in-flight and simulate a paratrooper/cargo drop.
I have many more ideas. You'd be making more hits with them. Satisfy the arma community. You are the first author on ARMA.HoLiC to actually release something useful and authentic.
I look forward to any new releases.
I!
I'm totally newbie: is there a way to fly this plane with an analogic controller?
Thanks
As of yet no. Until the official release of Arma 3 you'll have to use the keyboard. "Q" Is the throttle 'up' and "Z" is throttle 'down'. NOTE: When throttle is engaged plane may not move. Just spawn the plane in a different location, a little further down the airfield. It's a big plane so hold "Q" and expect to hold it for the first 1-2 minutes of gameplay. After a few uses of the AC-130 the game should remember specific commands and be more responsive next time around.
It took me a couple of days to realise that. It never moved for me until then.
@adrewb80;@YouBeautyRec
Actually you can. Just need to edit the config.bin file in Arma 3's ui_f.pbo. Add http://pastebin.com/priDAb6e under Class UserActionGroups and your good to go.
hey so I found a few MP bugs
When you shoot with the smaller calibers like 20mm and 45mm
1. others can't see the tracers at night
2. there is no explosion for others
Anyway i like the plane. Good job on that!
Is there any way to add Player to cargo, I got the plane to got to 2000m and follow waypoints, but can not player or group. Was hoping to do a Halo jump after the plane done some damage on Opfor. I am familiar with the "this moveincargo NAME;".
But this did not work. Just a question. Great job though. works amazing in the final release. Awesome job.
am i the only one who cant't get this bad boy to fly on altis?
works fine on stratis but on altis it won't move, let alone fly.
no it cant take of from altis, only if y land and dont stop then it can be done.
